SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM AND SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM, Clark Reservation State Park, Jamesville, NY.
The lake at Clark Reservation was created about 10,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age, when glacial water rushed over the limestone capstone in a waterfall of originally 180 feet, creating a plunge basin below. When the glacier retreated, the waterfall ended, leaving the meromictic lake at the bottom of the basin, where the water layers do not mix, as at Green Lakes. The Reservation currently encompasses 75 acres featuring rugged cliffs, rocky outcrops, woods, meadows and a wetland. The Friends of Clark Reservation run a Nature Center and organize events during the summer. No wonder fishermen, bird watchers, naturalists and hikers like Folkmarchers love this park!
